Hasselblad's revised focal-plane 6x6 SLR — protected shutter curtain, F and C lenses, 1981.
The Hasselblad 2000FC/M is a revised medium-format SLR from the early 1980s, updating the 2000FC in the focal-plane branch of the V-system. The main change was a mechanism to protect and retract the shutter curtain when no lens or back was mounted, addressing a vulnerability of the earlier body while keeping the same lens and back compatibility.
It is a medium-format (6x6) SLR shooting a 56x56mm square frame on 120 or 220 film through interchangeable backs. It uses a body focal-plane shutter with a titanium-foil curtain for a high top speed, and it also accepts leaf-shutter C lenses whose in-lens shutter can be used instead. The body takes interchangeable finders, focusing screens, and Hasselblad V lenses, is manually wound, and has no built-in meter.
The combination of a fast focal-plane shutter and the ability to use both F and C lenses suited available-light and studio photographers who wanted flexibility within the square-format system. The added curtain protection made it more forgiving to handle than the original 2000FC, while the modular finders and backs keep it useful for portrait and general work.
Check the titanium focal-plane curtain for creases or damage, and verify the retraction mechanism works when no lens is fitted. Test film-back seals, the dark slide, mirror and screen, and any leaf-shutter lens speeds. Confirm the finder mirror is clean, and match body, back, and lens serial eras for compatibility.
